Found a lump

[worriesihave]

I found a lump yesterday, it's on my labia.

A small pea sized really sore lump.

Goggle has terrified me and I will see a doctor but has anyone experienced this and it's just been a cyst or something like that?

Don't panic! It could very easily be a harmless cyst. I'm sure the doctor will put your mind at rest.

A bartholin’s cyst? (Not sure how to spell it!)

A really sore lump on your labia is almost certainly a small spot. It will burst or shrink down and vanish over a few days. Try a salt water warm compress or some mag sulph paste.

If it's still there unchanged in a few days, see your GP.

(I used to get loads of these)

I get these all the time. Really sore. Give it a couple of days and you'll be able to give it a squeeze and suddenly it'll be better. So stop panicking, it's a spot.

Could just be a pimple, don’t panic

Try not to worry, it's almost certainly a cyst or an ingrown hair or something & totally harmless. Get it checked though, for your own peace of mind.

I also get these from time to time - it's a bartholin's cyst don't panic.

is the lump on the labia or is it pushing the labia outwards - if you get what I mean?

It's possibly a boil and will grow a little larger over a few days if so. Use warm compresses and an antibacterial wash. Be super careful about hygiene as they can spread. Caused by staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

I've had one of these. It was gone in about 10 days.

Very very likely it's a cyst and nothing serious. If it hurts, warm baths can help. Try not to squeeze it if it's doing nothing, but if it starts leaking pus, give it a hard squeeze (grit your teeth!) and drain it.

They tend to go away by themselves, or pop themselves within a week or so.

Yes...I get them occasionally.

I found one of those last week, exactly eight days after I had been given the all clear by my oncologist for breast cancer. As you can imagine I was more than a little hysterical. Examined by oncologist the same day and he told me it was nothing to worry about, it's gone now!

Thank you for all the reassuring messages.

I have never had a lump in this area before and just got myself all worked up.

I will see how it is over the coming days and hopefully it will disappear.

It is so tender though 😬

That happened to me and it started to "deflatw" the night before I'd made a GP appointment. After a bath the next morning it was further diminished so I cancelled the appointment and it had disappeared by the end of the week.
Obviously if you're suffering, make an appointment, but otherwise give it a couple of days and go if it's still a problem.

Just had a look, there is a yellow head on it now!

I tried a squeeze but way too painful.

Have ordered magnesium paste though

Try after a hot bath. As a pp said, ideally use some tissue to squeeze, so you don't get more!

I get these all the time. Bath in hot water with some salt and use a hot compress 3 times a day on it. If its not gone in a week make an appointment as its ptob a cyst or a stubborn spot.

I’ve got one atm, I didn’t even know you could get spots down there so it has worried me a little mines like a lil ball under the skin!
